Most Zn2+complexes are colorless. Using Crystal Field Theory, suggest why Zn2+complexes are generally colorless. Include a diagram.
General questions regarding Crystal Field Theory. Use Crystal Field Splitting Diagrams as necessary. a) Identify M (metal) that meets the requirements given - and briefly justify your answer. M(CN)6 with CFSE = 1.2Ao, M is second-row transition metal. MBr having one unpaired electron, M is first-row transition metal. b) Fe(H2O)6* is paramagnetic whereas Os(H2O)6* is diamagnetic. Account for this observation.
6.) a.) In the series of Werner complexes (after the German-Swiss chemist) [CoX(NH3)5]* with X = I', Cl', NH3, there is a color variation from purple (I'), through pink (CI') to yellow (NH3). Explain this observation. b.) The same transition metal ion can provide a different color to different host lattices. Red ruby consists of an Al203 corundum host structure where Cr3+ dopants occupy octahedral sites surrounded by 02. In green emeralds, however, Cr3+ acts as a dopant of the beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) host, wherein it occupies octahedral sites, surrounded by six silicate ions. With this information, determine whether the silicate anions impose a stronger or weaker ligand field compared to 02. Explain your reasoning.

2D.) Draw the structure of: [Fe(Cp)(CO)(PPhs)(H)]. It is tetrahedral...use wedges and dashes as needed. Account for the electrons in the complex. Is it a 16 e or 18 e complex (Circle one). Give oxidation state of Fe: + 2EChallenge!) Since the complex here is tetrahedral, i.e., it has four different groups on it, see if you can figure out how to assign the stereochemistry, R or S, to your drawing. My drawing is: R or S (Circle one)

3. For each of the following complexes, identify whether it is a low or high spin complex (if appropri- ate) and give its magnetic properties. [Fe(NH,),]²* [Cr(CO),J²+ [VCIJ³-
[NİCI2(PPH3)2] is paramagnetic while [PtCl2(PPH3)2] is diamagnetic, what are the possible structures for these complexes? Please explain why they have different magnetic properties.
Answer the following questions for the transition metal complex Mn(OH)6. Using sigma - only considerations: a) Draw the 5 d orbitals associated with the transition metal center and state whether each one will overlap (strongly, weakly, or not at all) with the ligands (assume sigma bonding only). b) Using your answer for (a), draw and label the energy levels of the d orbitals (i.e. the d orbital splitting diagram). c) Fill in the correct number of electrons. Decide whether the complex should be high spin or low spin. d) Determine the spin state (S) and multiplicity (singlet, triplet, doublet, etc) of the complex.
